So far I've got the following textbooks for year 11 & 12 NSW... Not sure if they're good so a second opinion would be helpful or some suggestions etc.

Pre-lim (Year 11):
Chemistry: Chemistry Contexts 1
Physics: Jacaranda HSC Science Physics 1 Pre-liminary course Third Edition
Biology: KISS Biology (Keep It Simple Science)
HSC (Year 12):
Chemistry: Chemistry 2 Jacaranda HSC Science
Physics: HSC Physics in Focus & Physics 2 HSC Jacaranda (not sure which to choose though...)
Biology: Not yet..

I have some other books like conquering chemistry, chemical concepts , OTEN Physics etc.

Also, if someone could link me to biology books for year 11 / 12 because I can't seem to find any good ones.

I'm going to be using Jacaranda for physics in year 12, it seems pretty good.

Sorry but I don't do biology or chemistry so can't say anything about them.

Both chemistry and physics Jacaranda are good.
Chemistry and physics contexts are also good.
For chemistry, conquering chemistry is also good.

For biology, I recommend Biology in Focus, Biology in Context and Heinemann for both year 11 and 12.

Anyone wanna link me to the above mentioned bio books if your kind enough? I'd rather check them and find out first because I've grown to dislike specific textbook styles. would be greatly appreciated!

For chem I have conquering chemistry, for physics I have jacaranda physics. However I also have the excel books and I think for the price they are worth it they helped me to get 1st in my science research tasks!
